1) The steering wheel lets out a low moan or rubbing noise when turning left. Anyone else have this or know how to fix it?

2) From a stop, when I apply the throttle, I get a little "jolt" common to Chevy's and the spline issue at the transfer case output. However my little jolt comes with a little squeak too. Almost sounds like a little tire chirp, but I'm pretty sure it's not. Thoughts?

3) This one bothers me the most...my gas gauge isn't very good. There must be a problem with the sender. When I turn the truck on, most times the gauge stays at empty (giving me the "fuel low" warning). It generally lifts off empty after about 1 minute of driving. 80% of the time, it climbs VERY slowly up to where it should be. The other 20% of the time it jumps to where it should. Something is definitely screwy, and I want a properly working gas gauge. Anyone know anything about this? Is it the grounding or the sender itself? How much $$$ and how hard is it to replace?

I think the gas guage problem is common in '99 and up GMs. my '99 Z71 does the exact same thing. I've read up on it before, and IIRC, I believe it's a wiring problem...something to do with a ground or something maybe? I don't think it's the sender itself...but I could be wrong. I've never bothered to fix mine, I've just gotten use to it. Like you said, it always reads right after a little while, so I always know when it's actually out of gas, and when it's not.
